Double Exposure is back!

After a hiatus of several years, the brilliant Vancouver impressionists Bob Robertson and Linda Cullen made a comeback a few months ago and resumed their weekly comedy show on mp3 podcast -- and I discovered it by accident this week. Fortunately, it's free! To find out how to subscribe, visit the Double Exposure website. With the new format, they're of course free from standards and practices so you might not want to let pre-teens listen to it -- oh what the heck, most of us talk like that anyway so let it rip!

Civil Rights: "We face, therefore, a moral crisis as a country and as a people. It cannot be met by repressive police action. It cannot be left to increased demonstrations in the streets. It cannot be quieted by token moves or talk. It is a time to act in the Congress, in your state and local legislative body and, above all, in all of our daily lives. It is not enough to pin the blame on others, to say this is a problem of one section of the country or another, or deplore the fact that we face. A great change is at hand, and our task, our obligation, is to make that revolution, that change, peaceful and constructive for all. Those who do nothing are inviting shame as well as violence. Those who act boldly are recognizing right as well as reality." -- President John F Kennedy
